Senior Product Designer, Calm

• Experienced Product Designer: 7+ years of experience in UX and UI design with 5+ within consumer mobile and web applications
• AI-native and tooling-fluent: Highly proficient in Figma for design, and already using AI and low-code tools (Replit, Lovable, Claude) to prototype and move fast, with the judgment to know when the output is good enough and when it isn't
• Technical agility: Comfortable shipping small code changes without engineering support, bridging the gap between design and engineering by personally shipping copy and UI polish directly
• A builder: Biased toward shipping and iterating over perfect plans. You'd rather put a working prototype in front of people than write a doc about one
• Data- and research-informed: You fold both qualitative and quantitative insight into your design decisions, and you measure whether the work landed
• A strong collaborator: A low-ego, trusted partner to Product, Research, and Engineering who makes the people around them better and helps sharpen how the team works
• High craft standards: A strong advocate for accessibility, consistency, visual storytelling, brand integration, and motion design to create engaging user experiences, while still maintaining velocity
• A clear communicator: You present your thinking persuasively to stakeholders and senior leadership, give and take feedback well, and champion an experience while staying open to being wrong
• 7+ years in UX/UI design with 5+ within consumer mobile (and web) applications
• Proven experience driving user testing and research
• Strong foundation in interaction design, visual design, and usability best practices
• Experience designing and shipping mobile applications at scale
• Hands-on proficiency in Figma and modern AI/prototyping tools
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a larger design vision and strategy

Desirable

• At Calm we believe in making relaxation, better sleep, and mindfulness accessible to the entire world, and we hope you will help us achieve our mission
• The Product & Design team is responsible for delivering Calm to our customers, ensuring that it is easy to use, supports their goals, and maintains a high level of quality across web, iOS, Android platforms
• As a Senior Product Designer on our Consumer team, you'll shape experiences used by tens of millions of people to sleep better, stress less, and live more mindfully
• People often reach for Calm in their most vulnerable moments, so the craft of what we make (how it looks, moves, and feels) matters enormously
• This is a builder's role in the truest sense: you'll use AI and modern prototyping tools to move from insight to interactive prototype to shipped experience, not as a shortcut on quality, but to spend less time producing and more time on the judgment and detail that make an experience great
• When anyone can generate a hundred screens in an afternoon, taste and judgment are the differentiators!
• The heart of this role is balancing velocity and craft in service of making our users healthier and happier, and building intuitive, engaging and impactful experiences that drive acquisition, engagement and retention
• You'll partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, Data Science, and Marketing, and set the standard for craft across iOS, Android, and web
• You will be a thought leader in design, helping to establish best practices and setting the bar for exceptional product design at Calm
• Own end-to-end product design initiatives that cover the whole product experience (visual, interaction, motion, brand integration), to create thoughtful, high-quality user-centered mobile experiences
• Prototype quickly in Figma and with AI and low-code tools like Replit, Lovable, and Claude, so you can get real, testable ideas in front of people early
• Present your design work clearly and persuasively to cross-functional stakeholders (including senior leadership), give and take feedback well, anchoring your rationale to both user needs and business goals
• Maintain strong attention to detail and collaboration through engineering implementation (build and QA) and post launch-iterations, to ensure high-quality execution
• Use data and drive research to inform the experiences you build, and leverage performance insights to evolve your approach
• Champion system-level thinking (improving how the team works and evolving Calm's design system) so the whole team works faster and smarter
• Balance multiple projects in a fast-paced environment while maintaining high standards of execution
